SUMMARY:Handwriting the Constitution
DESCRIPTION:Join Old Stone House’s Director of Education\, Margaret Weber\, for a session of Handwriting the Constitution. \n\n\n\nHandwriting the Constitution is a social art project begun in 2017 by artist Morgan O’Hara. It invites people from all walks of life to meet in public spaces to handwrite the US Constitution or other documents written to protect human rights and freedoms. This art practice was created so that people will know their rights\, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights\, and to help resist negative thinking. To date approximately 2000 people have participated\, both nationally and internationally. \n\n\n\nThe goal of this art practice is to encourage people to hold their own Handwriting sessions on a recurring basis; to create a physical and psychological space that explores the practice of concentrated writing as an art form\, and a process designed to bring people together in a quiet and calming way\, all by focusing on human rights. It has been identified as a powerful and transformative form of activism for introverts. \n\n\n\nParticipants are welcome to work on their own journey through the U.S. Constitution\, but are welcome to explore other documents of freedom such as the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. \n\n\n\nLink \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:A Distant Love: Songs of John and Abigail Adams
DESCRIPTION:Song Cycle with libretto by Terry Quinn and music by Gary S. Fagin featuring soprano\, Elizabeth Dabney\, and baritone Thomas Meglioranza. \n\n\n\n“A Distant Love: Songs of John and Abigail Adams”\, with libretto by Terry Quinn and music by Gary S. Fagin\, celebrates one of the most consequential and influential couples of the Colonial period during a time when our America’s fortunes hung in precarious balance. \n\n\n\nThis song cycle for soprano\, baritone and string quartet covers the 11-year period when\, except for intermittent visits home\, John was abroad raising money for the American Revolution and Abigail was tending the Adams homestead. \n\n\n\n“A Distant Love” renders the flavor of this extraordinary couple’s time apart\, based on the extensive correspondence of these two “dearest friends” — their passions\, hopes\, doubts and anxieties; their complexities and half-hidden emotions; their most intimate thoughts. \n\n\n\nLink \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets
